 * Hi,
 * Have a 404 problem on every page since trying to change permalink structure from/
   index.php/%postname%/ to a custom structure of /%postname%/. Not only are my 
   existing pages showing a 404 error but also new pages I create.
 * Any help on the easiest way to correct this would be appreciated!! Thanks.

 * Check with your host. Either the `.htaccess` file isn’t being created due to 
   permission issues or they haven’t installed or permitted `mod_rewrite` for your
   web root directory.
 * They may need to add `AllowOverride All` to your web server config. Show them
   this and they should know what I mean.
